Chapter Twenty | Part Two

Third Person Point of View

After beating the living daylights out of Endou in his special training, he dropped to the ground out of exhaustion.

Both Kidou and Gouenji slang his arms over their shoulders and assist him to Rairaiken, while the three girls followed suit.

The auburn-haired girl immediately opened the sliding traditional door with worry evident in her features.

“ Quick Coach! We need some ice!” she exclaimed.

“ He might have a concussion.” the forest green-haired girl added.

Not a minute later, all the teens sat around the area, with Endou clutching a pack of ice over his head—while Coach Hibiki stays behind the counter, preparing ingredients for his dishes.

“ Looks like you've been through the war, boy.” mocked Coach.

“ Not really, just some hard practicing.” the brunette with an orange bandana replied.

“ The grapevine tells me you've been trying to master a new keeper move.”

“ Yeah, Majin the hand,” Endou said which received a pause and a hum from Hibiki.

“ Huh? You know about it, Coach?”

“ Yeah. That's one heck of a challenge you set for yourself kiddo.” Hibiki said and turn back to what he is doing.

On the contrary, Kage's mind floats to somewhere else again and zoned out everything around once more.

Worry flashed across the platinum blonde-haired boy's face for a split second at the sight of the teen.

I don't wanna go... Is it really for the best? What about Shuuya? What about Raimon? And the Finals?

Lots of depressing and unanswered questions continuously fly over her head. Fortunately, it was cut short when the door slides open, revealing Detective Onigawara.

All the teens look at him as he stares back with a dumbfounded expression.

“ What's this? Did someone try to mug you?”

“ Detective!” exclaimed Endou.

He walks up to the seat adjacent to where Natsumi's.

“ You look like a crap kid.” He said which earned a quiet snicker from the ravenette sitting next to Gouenji.

“ I'm just doing what it takes to beat Zeus, okay.” Endou replied in an “ as-a-matter-of-fact„ tone.
